This is because, just as we are fighting all the time for women’s football to be seen as much as the male. That implies that if we are asking for equality we have to respect the sanction imposed by the highest football body, which is FIFA.

In this new management, the international matches that we have until today, has There has been a commitment so that we can bring parties of this hierarchy and of this international level to Mexico, since last year it was sought that these dates of September and October we would have parties in Mexico obviously it cannot be disseminated because until all the contracts and everything becomes formal is when everything is published, “he concluded.
